Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie have done a lot of stuff together. Not just normal stuff like hoofacures (i don't know how to spell it don't judge me) and spa days, but taken down all sorts of baddies.

A living nightmare with god like powers bent on plunging the world into total darkness? Scary, but more of a minor annoyance.

Vampiric Bug Queen plotting to take over Canterlot? Got bug zapped.

Spirit of Chaos? ... Well they really didn't do much, but it worked out in the end.

But giant ape thing that was probably carnivorous, twice the size of an Ursa Major, and able to swallow ponies whole?

Well, as Rarity once put it: THE. WORST. POSSIBLE. THING!

"Pinkie, I'm scared" whimpered Fluttershy, "He was just staring and baring his teeth at me. Then when I tried to fly away he just laughed at me."

Pinkie hated to see her friend like this. Sure, she too was slightly traumatized from almost ending up like one of her cupcakes, but no Pinkie was going to let their friend down!

"Cheer up Fluttershy! Once everypony finds us we'll get out of here in no time. I bet the girls are out looking for us right now!"

On the inside however, Pinkie wasn't feeling so confident. When the Princesses did the emergency evacuation in Ponyville a lot of things went wrong. The Dark Terror Twiddlywink had already destroyed and/or enslaved most of the world. In a last ditch effort, mages, unicorns, and magical creatures came together to cast a giant trans-dimensional teleportation to escape the vicious tyrant.

However the last minute surprise attack derailed the casting. Thankfully the spell worked and teleported everybeing. Unfortunately the spell went off target in more ways than one. While ponies materialized together, they were missing everybeing else. They also materialized someplace really dark and damp. And worst of all, nopony could feel any magic! Earth ponies were as weak as pegasi, pegasi couldn't fly, and unicorns couldn't use magic. The Princesses still could, but they were running on a limited supply that they didn't know if they could keep regenerating.

At first everything was so strange. It looked like they ended up in some weird cave, until Rarity recognized some of the things in the room. Like shirts that could be used to make a hundred dresses. A Washer Machine the size of Ponyville Square. Now ponies were cold, hungry and scared. So the princesses organized the guards including three of the Elements of Harmony and sent them up the giant steps to the light coming from under the colossal door...

"But what if he wants to eat us?" moaned Fluttershy.

Snapping out of her depressing thoughts, Pinkie showed Fluttershy another smile and said, "Silly Filly! He already tried to eat me remember? He must not like how ponies taste though. Which is weird because I always thought I'd taste really good."

With a soft sigh, Fluttershy looks out through the distorted view the giant glass gives them.

"I just hope they don't make the giant angry. There's not telling WHAT it would do if we hurt it. And I'm not sure we could stop it if it wants to hurt us..."
